Imagine cold escargot. That was a first. The service was bad; the food was awful. Not a very pleasant dining experience. more

Food was less than average and not worth the trip. Service was absolutely abysmal. Had to ask for condiments. Mozzarella caprese with no basil and without olive oil in an Italian restaurant? Waiters were disinterested and we had to search for them for service. We had to wait forever for appetizers and longer than forever for the main course. Food... more

Went for lunch about 2 p.m. on Saturday and had a great experience. The service was good but was not busy either. Bread was excellent, as were the starters, reasonable amounts of caprese salad and escargot. There was background music of Xmas songs at an appropriate level of decibels. Each of the four of us thoroughly enjoyed our entree, and... more

We ate there this evening, hopefully for the last time. It has gone from good to passable to BAD. I was with a group. tasteless pasta sauce. Salmon tasted boiled. My wife's potato was raw. Her Veal was hidden under more filler than veal. more

Having eaten here many times over the years I can say Mario's has hit a plateau in food quality & service. The food is usually ok, sometimes not and almost always un-inspiring. I'm not looking for excitement in my food preparation but you can definitely sense they are sleep-walking through theirs. The result is usually "average" food. All of this... more

The waiter was rude and it seemed like an imposition for him to tell us about the specials. I made the mistake of asking about some dishes on the menu and he mumbled and turned his head away while he rushed through this explanation. I finally just had penne with tomato sauce since it was clear I wasn't going to... more

On the advice of Fordor's 2007, we decided to make the jaunt to Arthur Avenue to see the "Real Little Italy". We needed the train to Fordham Avenue and the 12 to Arthur Avenue, but it was worth the trip. We found the service to be excellent-the clams oreganate was the best. I had the seafood linguini and was stuffed.... more

I love Marios!!! the food is amazing and the location is great, i have lived in the area off the subway for 5 years and have had no problems, it is a walk but the little italy in the bronx is straight out of old new york and is well worth it. If you are racist and see latino people... more

We decided to try Mario's as it was highly rated in the Zagat Guide. However, it's not close to a subway station and it involves walking through a dicey neighborhood to get to it from the subway. We started our meal with a salad with mixed vegetables and that was quite good. As part of the meal, we got some... more
